As automotive enthusiasts, we think that there's nothing cooler than an altitude adjustment. Installing a set of lowering springs will not only bring your ride down to a more respectable level, but it can make it handle the curves better as well. Swapping out your springs for a set of lowering springs is an inexpensive way to drastically change the look and driving characteristics of your ride for the better, and can be done in a short afternoon if you're comfortable working on your vehicle.

Lowered or lifted springs can offer you one of the most dramatic changes you can make to your ride, whether it be just for looks or for increased performance as well. Just about every vehicle here at Andy's has benefited from a new set of springs, and we're confident that installing new springs will make you feel like you're driving a completely new ride. Let's face it: stock ride height usually sucks, so do something about it!

DID YOU KNOW?

Lowering springs are best matched with a set of performance shocks/struts that will accommodate your new lower ride height, but if you're on a tight budget your stock shocks will work temporarily until you can upgrade; that is, if you don't mind a slightly bumpier ride in the meantime. Some manufacturers offer more than one model of lowering springs depending on how low you want to go or how aggressive you want the spring rate to be, so be sure to order accordingly. Going too low with your suspension probably won't yield the best performance results, so unless it's a show vehicle or a cruiser, you might want to stick with a milder drop.

Aftermarket springs not only change the ride height of your vehicle, but can affect its handling characteristics as well. Certain springs are made strictly for a lower or higher profile, while others are made to enhance your vehicle's performance for street or track use. Changing out your springs will usually necessitate a new set of shocks that are matched to your intended use, so be sure to check out the performance shocks that we offer to complement your new springs.

FAQ's

Q: What are lowering springs? Why buy lowering springs?A: Springs' basic function is to cushion and absorb the shocks and bumps that are encountered as the vehicle is driven. Coupled with a shock absorber they make up the main element of your vehicle's suspension. When you want to lower your car, you buy new lowering springs that are made to set your car closer to the ground. Anybody who wants to lower his or her car has to replace the factory springs with either lowering springs or coilovers (coilovers are the same as lowering springs, except adjustable).

Q: Are lowering springs adjustable?A: Lowering springs are not adjustable; you cannot change the ride height on them. See our product descriptions to find out the exact drop the springs offer for each listing. If you want an adjustable lowering system, then you should look at coilovers, which are essentially adjustable lowering springs.

Q: How do you install lowering springs?A: The factory spring and strut housing need to be removed. Once the factory springs and struts are removed, they can be replaced with your aftermarket springs. A professional shop should install your springs, since they are pressurized and since an alignment will need to be done at the same time the installation is completed.

Q: Do lowering springs come in sets of 4?A: All lowering springs on our website are sold in sets of four; unless otherwise specified.
